Bridgewater Anti-Tether March Attracts Hundreds

Hundreds of animal-lovers and their dogs hit the streets of Bridgewater over the weekend, supporting planned changes to the province's Animal Cruelty laws. They would ban the chaining of dogs and penalize those who do. One of the march's co-ordinators Lindsey Parnell says the movement for change began here on the South Shore. However, she says animal cruelty incidents in our region are just a drop in the bucket.



There were similar marches in other parts of the province including Yarmouth and Halifax.
